[QUOTE="huntinfool, post: 106425, member: 1931"] uhhh......... From what I'm seeing it is too high also......IMHO. Usually you want the plate even with the bottom of the boat or perhaps 1-1.5" above the bottom...but that looks like it is more than that. Maybe it is an optical illusion, but it sure looks like it is 4-6" above the bottom of the boat. Lets see what others have to say. Also not trying to nock or question your work, but I don't see any screws or bolts to hold the top of the transom to the aluminum skin at the top edge. I know that the motor will be bolted on, but I usually make sure that it is screwed or bolted along the top edge in a few places. LOOKS GREAT!!! Keep up the good work. [/QUOTE]
